Twelve-year-old Brittany Lee Morgan is the best. Or, at least she was at her gymnastics training gym in Ohio. But when her family moves to Texas for a world-class facility, Britt is suddenly a zero in the eyes of her new teammates. The other girls—graceful Christina, perfect Noelle, and quiet Jessie—aren’t exactly excited by the arrival of the pint-sized powerhouse. Especially since Britt has a way of saying the wrong thing at all the wrong times. But, Britt's not scared of a challenge: she’s an Elite Gymnast, and she didn’t get there without taking some major risks. She's determined to become friends with the other Texas Twisters, whether they want her to or not.

This book is amazing and wonderful and after I read these books they inspired me to always enjoy life's every moment. I think these books are awesome and I even do gymnastics and a reason I read these books was because by bff's aunt Alicia Thompson wrote the books. I love these books there so wonderful funny enjoyable cute and most of all really good. I flipped through the whole series in a week.

I am several years over 10 years old (but I am under 30!) but as a lover of gymnastics and having been a fan of Dominique, I purchased this book and Balancing Act as well. I finished reading both of the books and enjoyed them a lot. It is a good inside look at training for gymnastics but also real life struggles girls face every day in the gym and out. If you are a gymnastics fan, you will enjoy this book. It is longish but easy to read and with the great story will be easy to plow right through it! Can hardly wait for the next two!

My daughter received these books and read them very quickly. She is anxious for the next two to get here (we have already pre-ordered!). The books definitely made her get excited about gymnastics, and I am looking forward to watching the Olympics with her and tying it back to these books. I also love that we could talk about how hard people really work to be so good at their sports. I would highly recommend these!
